Common Ground 2026

Traditions Week Classes

.

I will be back on staff again this year for Traditions Week at Common Ground on the Hill in Westminster, MD from Monday, July 6 through Friday, July 10. I will be teaching two classes: Beginning Fiddle and Irish Fiddle, which will focus on the fiddle music of County Kerry, from the playing of Denis Murphy, Julia Clifford, Padraig O’Keeffe, and Paddy Cronin. Period 5 is the Celtic Jam, featuring Celtic Week instructors such as Kevin Elam, Ellen Gira, Peter Brice, Bill Troxler, and Stefan Hannigan. Should be a blast! Registration is now open.
